   Petzl Summit Evo

   If we could only have one ice axe for a wide range of activities, the Petzl Summit Evowould be it. This non-modular axe climbs steep snow and ice routes and navigates complex glacier routes like a champion. While most at home on challenging routes, it's still light and comfortable enough to be used by nearly anyone. There's just so much we love about the Summit Evo. Its hot-forged pick penetrates firm snow and ice, and its curved shaft has a unique teardrop-shaped design that proves far less...

   Black Diamond Raven

   With products in our fleet ranging in price, there's a significant difference between the products we tested. We feel the Black Diamond Ravenis the best axe you can buy for the money. It's a solid, comfortable general mountaineering axe, as long as the terrain isn't too technical. It works well for moderate snow climbs, early-season backpacking, and basic glacier routes but is a cut below the rest when the going gets tough. The Raven did face some extremely tough competition from the equally...

   Petzl Sum'Tec

   The number of different modular-headed ice axes has increased in the past few years, and manufacturers are responding to this rapidly growing hybrid category. No model is as much of a blend between a traditional ice axe and an ice tool than the Petzl Sum'tec, and that's a good thing. The Sum'tec is the brainchild of the late Ueli Steck (along with Kilian Journet and Colin Haley, among others) who wanted a lighter weight ice tool and were willing to make a host of sacrifices except when it cam...

   Petzl Ride

   The Petzl Rideis our favorite ultralight model. It's nearly the lightest model we tested and is less than an ounce heavier than the lightest option in our review. Despite its low weight, it features a steel pick and adze, which adds a fair amount of versatility and performance. It's most at home ski-mountaineering or alpine rock climbing but is versatile enough for basic snow climbs and moderate glacier routes. Despite its low weight, the Ride's pick provided good purchase, even in firmer con...

   Mont Blanc was first climbed in 1786, and a lot has changed since the first axes were invented in the European Alps during the late 1700s. Before the invention of crampons at the turn of the 19th century, an axe's primary job was chopping steps, and thus the reason for the seemingly ridiculous length of axes. Chopping steps is now rarely done but i...

    Provenance: Francois Simond started making ice axes in the Chamonix valley, below Mont Blanc, around 1860, and 100 years later the Simond brand is still going strong. There were very few British ice axe manufacturers in the early days so continental imports were what most folk used; the Austrian Stubai being the most popular.
